Joe Theobald, aka DJ Captain Wormhole, Looks at all things vinyl 

YOU may recall that back in June last year I was struggling for ideas to keep the broth bubbling on this delicious stew of a column.

Having reviewed a few old music magazines I decided it would be much easier to pack a few hundred words out with a list, because we all enjoy reading lists. If you missed that week or your memories shot from too many green teas, it was my top 5 LCD Soundsystem songs.

Well it’s a very exciting time to be an LCD Soundsystem fan as the band announced last year that they were getting back together to tour and put out a new album, and just recently James Murphy ‘announced’ that “it’ll be done soon”.

It was supposed to be done late last year so props to Paul Kaczorowski, some random bloke who asked for an update on a Facebook page for one of James Murphy’s DJ appearances and got a straight answer.

It’s really taken the edge off the whole Trump thing for me, like a sign that music will at least be on the up.

You always get better music in times of peril, it’s like the artists feed off society’s nausea. All sorts of good music happened during the Cold War.

So I’m pretty confident the new record won’t disappoint. They aren’t the sort to cash in or sell out and with The Great Orange Satan’s tiny little hand hovering over the Armageddon button James and the gang will want to go out on a high.
